Geocache Description:

DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES.
There is nothing to find there. Solve the puzzle below to find the correct location to visit on December 13th.

You must find the coordinates using the clues below. The puzzle should be relatively easy if you have already solved the first eleven caches in the kablooey 2009 Puzzle Challenge. This puzzle could be rather challenging to solve if you haven't solved any of the eleven monthly puzzles yet.

The clues:

Check your email
in a manner inspired by love for one's country
pertaining to scientific measurement of the head

Special notes about the 2009 Puzzle Challenge: Because of repeated brute-force abuse of certitude this year, I decided to write a quickie checker of my own this month. To find the cache, you must verify your solution with this checker.
